Among the things needed in St. Johns, which would seem fully justified by tho $350,000 monthly pay roll, which wc are reliably informed is now the pay roll mark in St. Johns, arc the following: First class hotel, opera House, apartment houses, at least 350 more tenant houses, hospital, first class lodge room, modern home laundry, Western Union Telegraph ofiice, public play ground, besides other institutions that might be men tioned. Here is certainly a fertile and profitable field for the investor. , In n recent ruling of an Iiast- orn exemption Hoard a young nuwipnnur man was exempted upon the grounds that his busi ness was a patriotic necessity if 4 tl mm iri1nHnttini f- uasrtSf" JTih." Peninsula Seemly Co, dunce that readies our ollice each week, are re(uests for the imnicdiato publication of var ious items which the govern ment wishes to put before the poople, in order to stir up their patriotism and rally their ser vices to the government. It is impossible of course to print anything like all we receive, but t every loyal newspaper Ntrnins its resources to the ut most to give freely just the services that tho government is reduesting. In both the first mid second liberty loan, there Is not a shadow of a doubt in the m lids of anyone who is ac quainted with tho facts that it would not have been possible to succeed in this undertaking had the newspaper men not loyally and without stint, given their miihch without any compensa tion. An oll'ort was mado be fore the last loan was launched, to liavo it launched through paid newspaper publicity but the government rightly judged that the newspapers wore loyal unough that they would give their services gratis, so the money they had to spend was lavishly used in getting out the most expensive class of posters known to the printers trade and Urn newspapers did the rest. The only thing a newspaper has to sell is its upaco and when the government needs and demands that, they should bo just as willing to pay for as thoy are to pny for any other commodity which the government pur chases, in the propagation of its plans.

The First Hundred thousand, I he Pentacost Calamity, At Sula Pay. Important changes have taken place in the local police depart ment. Cant. Jenkins, who has been called to serve at head- (liiarters in Portland, has been succeeded by Capt. L. A. Harms, who is a worthy suc cessor to tho position so capably and satisfactorily filled by Capt. Jenkins. The new captain is ono of tho most trusted and most efficient police officers in it till t WW I uie roriinnii service, lie is well known by some of our older citizens, for about a quarter of a century ago Unpt. Harms was a resident of St. Johns. This place nt that time was only a I very small hamlet and much of I tho land was in its virgin state. He can tell some interesting rcminisccnses of the days of old. and of the wonderful nro- grcss that has been made since. Tho new captain is a pleasant and congenial gentleman, as well as cnpablc and efficient police officer, and St. Johns can congratulate itself upon secur ing his services since Capt. .letiKins nas neon called to other work. The service hero has been augmented by the addition of Sergeant E. E. Lyon ami Sergeant Joe Day, the latter serving as night sergeant. A motorcycle man has also been added to the force. Capt. nanus is now urging uie ex tension of tlio St. Johns police district to reninsulnr avenue, believing this entire sect on could be more efficiently policed from the St. Johns headquar ters.
